My xbox is modded and i have the XBMP/XBMC player installed to watch media files, but i would like to know if the xbox remote control would work to control the XBMC player so i could watch all my xvid files via the remote control instead of the joypad.

if you can help thanks.

if this is posted in the wrong section could you plz move it to the correct section as i could do with the help mods/admin

Yes. This is a well known fact. It will also work in evox. I find that outside of Evox and XBMC it gets flakey though. For instance, when I go to Avalaunch from Evox once I hit down it moves all the way down the screen. Then, I hit up and it goes all the way to the top.

Edit: This is more of a topic for the XBMP/XBMC section, but I guess the remote could make it a hardware question.

Well, I discovered today that it's just my fucking remote that gets flakey outside of evox and XBMC. My friend brought his over and I put his dongle in and the remote worked flawlessly. I don't know how to go about exchanging it either. What do I say? Uh, my remote doesn't work right in homebrew apps on my modded xbox? I don't think they will take that as a reason to exchange it, and I got it from Gamestop and that place is already shady. I'm pissed. I just bought it like a week ago, cause I'm gonna do an IR on/off.

Well, currently I'm trying to convince my friend to simply trade dongles with me since he lost his old remote and bought a new set. He's being a dick about it though. I think he may still think he can find the remote and sell them or something. He'll come around eventually though, so don't worry 'bout me.

Yeah that's what I ordered. I'm too lazy to make it from scratch, but I wanted something slightly harder than just plugging it in so I got the Pro kit.
